Floor Door with Safety Net
Roof Hatch with Safety Net
Overview:
A rail mounted safety net system is designed to be installed in all types of floor and roof hatch opening
to reduce risks associated with fall-throughs. The safety net system provides protection during the initial
opening of the hatch and maintains protection after access has been gained. The safety net easily slides
on guide rails to facilitate entry and then repositioned to prevent fall through. This system also provide
excellent fall through protection while a floor door or other opening if left uncovered, and while a
worker is below. Limitations: The safety net system after installation should be maintained in the
closed position after each use. The safety net is a fall protection system. At no time is the net to be used
as a work platform, lifting mechanism, tool holder, tie off point, or to attach any other equipment to it.
The following are general instructions for installing and maintaining safety nets. These are
recommended general guidelines only. Locally accepted installation practices and procedures should be
followed to ensure a safe system that meets all local code requirements, including OSHA and IBC
requirements.
Set Up/Unpack/Preparation:
Verify that all products listed on the packaging slip are included in the package. Check the products for
damage. If products are damaged, report a freight claim immediately and leave the products in their
packaging. If you sign for products without reporting damage, you waive the right to a freight claim and
will be responsible for replacement cost. Read the instructions thoroughly before beginning installation.
Installation:
The safety Net safey system can be installed on any standard aluminum or steel floor door, roof hatch or
custom sized framed opening. The safety net safety system is factory assembled and ready for
installation. At no time is the installer to supply fastening hardware. Failure to adhere to the installation
instruction will void warranty.
